Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...

Principal Investigator: Stabler, Matt
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The Beluga Harvest Monitoring Program is an on-going program conducted by the Fisheries Joint Management Secretariat that involves the monitoring of the beluga harvest in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Data and samples are collected from harvested whales in order to assess contaminant levels as well as population and reproductive parameters....

Principal Investigator: Dickins, David F.
Licensed Year(s): 1992
Summary: The researcher and his team will use a short list of the most promising locations identified in previous work to guide the researchers during the field survey. The survey will consist of airborne video, and ground observations followed by meetings in Inuvik with concerned government agencies, and community representatives....

Summary: Snow samples will be collected from approximately 30 sites across the NWT and Yukon in the spring of the year. This annual snow pack sample will allow an estimate of the quantity of organic contaminants that have been deposited over the winter season. To better understand the fate of these contaminants in the High Arctic, the researchers will undertake an intensive small basin study on Cornwallis ...

Principal Investigator: Peddle, Juanetta
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The Researchers will establish an overview of background levels of contaminants in the Mackenzie River Delta. The study includes collection of large volume water, suspended sediment and grab samples at both inflow and outflow sites of the Mackenzie River Delta. Large volume samples will be extracted at the Inuvik Research Centre, and concentrated before being shipped out for analysis....

Principal Investigator: d'Entremont, Andre
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1990
Summary: Fifty (50) sediment samples will be collected from 6 stations in Inner and Outer Sun Bay, Contwoyto Lake. The samples will be analyzed to determine whether or not there have been changes in contaminant levels since the mine became operational. Fifty (50) additional samples will be taken to look at the benthic organisms which live in the sediments....

Principal Investigator: Heinke, G.W.
Licensed Year(s): 1991 1989
Summary: In co-operation with the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, the researcher will conduct a random sampling of garbage generated in the selected communities to establish their composition. A questionnaire will be used to gather a hazardous waste inventory. A detailed plan will be for the design and cost estimate of a co-disposal facility will be undertaken....

Principal Investigator: Stewart, D. Bruce
Licensed Year(s): 1987
Summary: To assess the commercial fishing potential of rivers near the head of Prince Albert Sound, Victoria Island, NWT, by placing in a live capture weir to count the fish running up Kuuk River, and by tagging and sampling the char. Also gillnet testing will be completed at Nalaogyuk and Kagluk Rivers. A number of fish from each site will be analyzed for pesticide and heavy metals....

Principal Investigator: Hornby, A.P.

Summary: To identify environmental factors involved in nasopharyngeal and esophageal cancers among the Canadian Inuit. This licence is conditional on all substances and drugs used being prescribed by the local physician....

Principal Investigator: Smith, Daniel W.
Licensed Year(s): 1979
Summary: To sample treated and untreated domestic water supplies for physical and chemical analysis, (e.g. turbidity, color, temperature and trace elements analysis, e.g. lead, zinc, silver and cadmium)....
